I have to apologize to all parties that I adressed in this message board that I opened to you.
I seem to have hit all the wrong tunes while trying to inform and trying to opening some opportunities for some individuals inside your esteemed ranks that would likt to hunt the defined targets. It was not my intention to anger IMG's friends by implying that they can be bought for money to do dirty work. But I can see how my words were received and thus I can also understand the negative reaction.
As Rheinland has disapproved of the deeds, there is no reason to push this act of retribution on.
The access to the restricted bounty board section has been removed, so that this chapter can be regarded as "closed". The IMG is pushing their agenda via diplomatic means.
I apologize for the inept way of addressing you, Sirs and Madams.
Yours sincerely
Jack Henderson

Mr. Henderson, we have a problem.
You seem to be under the impression that the SCRA are a band of mercenaries. This is not the case. To be honest, the fact that you're offering us credits, an item with very little, if any value to us, as a reward for shooting your enemies is insulting.
However, I'm sure insulting us was not your intention.
Regardless, the SCRA will not be actively participating in this hunt.
We will, of course, be by your side should they, and anyone working for them, attack you while we're present.

To be perfectly honest, I am far from an expert in the Omegas and I received the urgent call to get the word out to those who fought on our side in the Omega Conflict. This is why the SCRA was named as a recipient of this information.
I apologize if that came out as an insult. That was not my nor the IMG's intention.
Perhaps you can read it as a piece of information that there is another conflict coming up in Omega 7 between Rheinland and IMG. If you could be so kind as to interpret my message that way, I would be relieved and the effort would not have been useless.
Thank you for getting back to me on the topic, General. Please accept my apalogies.
Yours sincerely

Herr Henderson,
I hoped the previous conflict would have shared some insight on the operations of the Red Hessian Army in Omega-7: all we want is the system's freedom and the support of the IMG. We do not need IMG money for shooting folk however, a victory in the Omega-7 system will be in the end a political and ideological one.
I will give out the order to intensify raids on Kruger shipping, but do not expect us to claim money for them. We have more than enough money to fund our operations, and the IMG could instead repay us by supplying us with more fuel and engine components so that we may continue our operations, as well as perhaps utilising the newly legal status of our red diamonds in Bretonia to spread our cause to other parts of Sirius.

Dear Major Gunther Hoerst,
I am sorry to have adressed the Red Hessian Army wrongly in my message. It was not my intention to portray the Hessian movement in a bad light but to give some interested individuals inside your group's scope the opportunity.
I ask you kindly not to take me inept words as an insult, but to forget the whole thing.
As Rheinland refrained from assisting the Rheinland pilots in the situation and as the authorities are conducting an investigation, we see no reason to stick to our first impulsive reacion.
For this reason, the message board has been edited to reflect the changed situation and also IMG|'s actiions drawn from it.
Yours sincerely
Jack Henderson

Guten tag, Herr Henderson.
I am contacting you using this channel, because I want to run through you an idea that might help you out somewhat in your precarious position. Considering your continuing problems with backstabbing mercs hired by those Kruger liars and thieves, I think it would be prudent for you to hear me out.
I think it is quite safe to assume by now that Kruger is hiring mercenaries to hit your miners, and then reneging on it in public, where they need to maintain their image in front of the big governments of Sirius. Unfortunately, mercs with a paycheck prospect are like a plague: there is no way to stop them all, not without a complete military blockade or something of similar calibre.
So perhaps it is time to beat them at their own game? Establish your own hidden board for opportunistic mercs to hit Kruger - and any other mercenaries that decided to pick the wrong side. At the very least it will succeed in creating chaos in their ranks, and give more of your targeted ships those vital few moments to get to safety. After all, mercs only value profit. It seems very fitting to use that against them.

Guten Tag Major Gunther Hoerst,
It's Kruger's and Rheinland's turn to make sure this aggression stops. The evidence we fielded is conclusive and undisputable. I still hope that Kruger might cease its hostile stance and return to "normality".
In case Rheinland seems unwilling to do anything against the crimes and keeps turning a blind eye to the continued acts of violence, actions like those you presented are not out of the question.
Thank you for hinting at a possible solution. I first want to try the legal way, though. It could be massively conducive to the IMG reputation if once a Rheinland corporation is incriminated of cooperating with "outlaws". Normally, they use this weapon against IMG and your resistance group.
Yours sincerely
Jack Henderson
